Vul-nerabilità nell’opera d’arte come spazio comune. Una riflessione attraverso la filosofia di Michel Serres e l’Arte di Raija Jokinen.

Abstract

The theme of vulnerability interrogates and solicits both the philosophical thought of Serres and the art of Jokinen, preparing definitions and works that give voice and form to a poetic sensibility, comparable to that of a mother, which prefers perception to rational thought, listening to and observing the world from the bowels, and accrediting the dimension of vulnerability (it is not by chance that vulnus and vulva share the same etymon, vul-) as the opening that, by breaking down the warp without completely spoiling it, generates an opening of possibility, a creative discontinuity that in the philosophical approach translates into a rethinking of the subject-object dualism and in the work of art as a common space catalysing the relationship between inter-acting subjects.
